Wales Online spent a year creating its digital tribute to the victims of the Aberfan disaster that claimed the lives of 144 people, including 116 children, fifty years ago today.

The website joined Welsh dailies in remembering the tragedy, when a waste tip from a coal mine slipped down a hillside and engulfed a primary school and 19 homes.

The South Wales Echo called it “The Darkest Day” on a black front page. The Western Mail carried the image of a clock stopped at 9.13am, along with the words “they will never be forgotten”.
